ABOUT THE ART

Artist: Patrick Ortega

In the 1990s, Seattle basketball was super and a 6' 10" forward was the face of the franchise. Shawn Kemp floated with ease through the air while contorting his body like a ballet dancer only to assault the rim in a way that directly contradicted the grace of the flight. The reign was supreme, culminating in a trip to the NBA Finals in 1996. Long live the green and the yellow. Long live the Reign Man.
